Belmond Hotel Splendido, unmistakable destination of la Dolcevita, boasts lush gardens with views of the waves that caress the shore just a few metres away. The hotel’s garden extends over 2 hectares offering a green oasis that continues across several hillside terraces. The centuries-old park is remarkable for its great variety of flora consisting of hundreds of olive, oak, Aleppo pine and beech trees, along with different species of Mediterranean scrub like arbutus and mastic. Enriching the park of majestic palm trees is a Lebanon cedar, and all live together with 60-year-old peonies, agapanthus, azaleas, camellias, bougainvilleas and different species of roses. They welcome guests as they walk along the terrace with the four seasons’ lemons and the emblematic wisteria climbing across the pergola to the rooms, offering a scented purple waterfall to enchant guests.
Since 2010, the Frontera company has been responsible for the management of the Splendido & Splendido Mare park, whose terraces and gardens have become emblematic and show every year a unique glimpse throughout Portofino with more than 1,500 flowering geraniums. Over the years the gardens of the suites and the terraces have been enlarged and enriched with exemplary plants, botanical gardens at the service of the chef of the restaurant and an open air area dedicated to massages surrounded by greenery.
